New Mexico State is either moving to a conference or keeping a tight lip on future schedules. After 2019, they have four schools lined up for games in 2020, five in 2021, and three or less in the years beyond. I would have expected LU and UMass to be regulars on their schedule with occasional appearances from BYU.

I wasn't looking forward to a rivalry with NMSU but a regular on the schedule is welcomed no matter who. Likewise, I respect our future annual series with UMass as we would both rather be somewhere else but are unwanted so we wait. We aren't a pair in much at all but we are both outcasts looking for a home so let's play and see what develops.
